Bethel College St. Paul, Minn. Vol 54 No. 5 October 20, 1978 Four Bethel professors work onNIV translation by Mark Rentz
The entire Bible in the New
International Version, published
this month, marks the end of a
10-year project by over a hundred
scholars, including four Bethel
professors.
This enormous work may be
one of the most significant and
widely accepted Bible transla-tions
into English in centuries.
Already the pre-sales for the NW
are above 1 million copies.
The New Testament version
has been available since 1973,
and has justified its existence by
public demand and acceptance.
Bethel radio KABY will not be
on the air this fall, due to lack of
space and lack of a faculty ad-visor.
If the station were to be aired, it
would need to use the office that
Dr. Roy Wilbee is presently using,
and at this time no other space is
available.
Last Tuesday, the Senate mov-
The four Bethel professors are
Dr. Arthur Lewis and Dr. Walter
Wessel of the College, and Dr.
Donald Madvig and Dr. Ronald
Youngblood of the Seminary.
Dr. Youngblood has since last
spring taken the position of dean-elect
of the Wheaton Graduate
School.
Dr. Wessel, the first of the
Bethel professors to be involved
on the project, is professor of Bib-lical
studies and worked on the
New Testament portion.

and theology, and Dr. Ronald
ed to table the bill, and KABY's
establishment will be postponed
indefinitely. Senate and admini-stration
will still need to approve
the bill before the radio station
will be on the air.
The earliest KABY could be on
the air would be next semester,
when the offices in the new annex
will be completed.
Youngblood, professor of Old
Testament were both involved in
the Old Testament portion.
Dr. Madvig, professor of Old
Testament, was one of the few
translators to work on both the
Old and New Testaments.
"The NIV," said Dr. Lewis,
"was begun with the aim of
becoming the standard edition for
public worship."
Dr. Edwin Palmer, the execu-tive
secretary of the translation
committee (as interviewed in the
October "Eternity"), explained
by Beth Rainbow
A plus and minus grading
policy has been approved by
faculty members, although con-verting
to the system this year is
financially impossible. Dwight
Jessup, director of academic af-fairs,
said the change has been
"put on hold" until Bethel can
accommodate the cost.
The data processing firm,
which handles Bethel's grades,
estimates that making the change
would cost between $2000 and
$3000. "We didn't foresee that
switching the computers over
would cost so much," said Jes-sup.
"We simply do not have that
money."
The new plus and minus sy-stem
will be in effect when it will
be financially feasible.
This system will affect stu-dents'
grade point averages
(GPA). Such a system allows
teachers to choose from these
passing grades: A, A-, B+, B,
B-, C + , C, C-, D + , and D.
A plus increases grade points by
.3, and a minus decreases grade
point by 0.3.
Teachers in the science and
math fields, where points deter-mine
grades objectively, tend to
be more in favor of the policy than
those in the humanities.
Lynn Fauth, English literature
instructor, commented, "It's
difficult enough for an English
teacher to assign a letter grade to
a paper. Now we have to decide
between degrees of letters."
Jim Torgerson, vice president
of the student association, said he
voted in favor of the system last
year as a student member of the
academic policy committee be-cause
students had been request-ing
the plus and minus policy.
how some versions are very ac-curate
in their translation but use
archaic and unnatural language,
which often dulls the meaning.
The other extreme is modern
translations that are too free, too
paraphrastic, so that while they
are easy to read and understand,
they may be deviating from the
text.
Sometimes accuracy and clarity
are on opposite ends of the
continuum, but Dr. Wessel em-phasized
that, "The NW attempts
a middle of the road approach. It
has accuracy and clarity, without
"Student opinion is generally
for the new grading system,"
said Torgerson. "It would pro-bably
only hurt people with ex-tremely
high GPA's who might
get A-'s and not end up with
4.0."
The recommendation of the
grading policy came from Philip
Sackett, chairman of last year's
academic policy committee. Sack-ett
first introduced the system to
that committee.
After holding several open
hearings, the academic policy
committee voted in favor of the
plus and minus system. The
proposal was then taken to a
faculty meeting, where teachers
also voted to adopt it, although
the vote was not unanimous.
"I was strongly in favor of the
plus and minus policy and I was
disappointed to see it delayed this
year," said Sackett.
The system provides an incen-tive
to students who settle for less
than best effort studying. Sackett
said he is eager to see the new
policy carried through because,
"it will stimulate students to work
harder."
A student can't, for example,
complete the minimum amount of
work for an A and still earn 4.0.
Instead, 4.0 is awarded for A
work, and an A- receives 3.7.
"The issue is by no means
dead," explained Jessup. "It
may take a year or two before the
system actually changes, but a
definite decision to adopt the plus
and minus policy has been
made."
Meanwhile, Bethel will either
try a different data processing
firm, or budget the money ahead
of time. Jessup mentioned that in
the future, Bethel might do its
own computer work.
the loss of dignity."
The NIV is a new translation.
All work was done by translating
from the original languages.
"The actual translation was
fascinating," said Dr. Lewis. "It
was an opportunity to do meticu-lous
study in the scripture. Every
word must be thought through as
to how it can be communicated.
"It's puzzling to find the best
word equivalent in English.
Sometimes hours were spent on
just a word."
"It was a costly and complex
process," added Dr. Wessel.
"The translation of a book began
with a team of scholars. Their
work was sent to consultants who
made suggestions for improve-ment.
"The translation was then re-worked
and revised verse by
verse by an Intermediate Edi-torial
Committee. Each change
was by majority vote. Then the
translation was revised by a Gen-eral
Editorial Committee.
"During the phases of editorial
work, copies of the translation
were sent to various pastors,
English stylists, scholars, and lay
people for suggestions and criti-cism.
"Then finally, the translation
was revised and edited for a third
time by the governing Committee
on Bible Translation. Now it was
ready to be included in the NIV."
Another significant character-istic
of the NIV is that it's a pro-duct
of mainly American evangel-ical
scholarship. All major deno-minations
were represented.
Dr. Wessel said, "We seem to
be in some kind of second Golden
Age of translating the Bible into
English.
"The first Age began with the
translation of the Tyndale and
ended with the King James Ver-sion
(1530's-1611). A lot of trans-lations
were done during this time.
Intensive translation work began
again in the 1920's and has con-tinued
up to the present day."
Is the New International Ver-sion
the climax of this new Golden
Age?

Opinion
Maintain spirituality
Ken Gowdy's chapel message on Monday served as a warning and an
inspiration to the entire Bethel community. In his research of church-related
colleges, he found that academic improvement in a school is
related to a decline it its formal relationship with its sponsoring chur-ches.
His evidence is solid and his research convincing. His message
should be taken seriously.
One could contend that Bethel is not like the others, that with God's
help, Bethel can retain its spiritual emphasis. But the statistics are hard
to refute. Gowdy quoted Jenks as saying that there has never been a rise
in a college's academic standards without a concurrent drop in the
religious.
We believe that without continuing awareness of this probability, and
a concerted effort to overcome it, Bethel's spirituality is in danger.
We do not feel, however, that Gowdy is necessarily a prophet of
doom. Bethel is unique among church-related colleges in Minnesota.
For the past 30 years, it has retained a fairly high level of formal
religious standards and strong ties to the Baptist General Conference,
while gaining a reputation for strong academic standards.
There are many who deserve credit and thanks for this unique posi-tion,
including President Lundquist and Dean Brushaber. To anyone
with even a limited contact with Lundquist, it is obvious that his
priorities are spiritual.
Brushaber has done an outstanding job of recruiting commited Chris-tians
to Bethel's faculty. In the future, it will be these leaders (faculty
and administration) who will make or break Bethel's religious stan-dards.
Gowdy's message was thought provoking. We should be thankful for
the spirituality of Bethel, so far. Even more, we should be aware and
ready to face the possibilities for the future.

`Beetle Collage' invaded,
spies detect conspiracy
by Rick Chapman
On a cool and crisp October
evening, two distinctive looking
individuals dressed in trench
coats and derbies crept slowly
along an old country road. Sud-denly
the shorter member of the
two stopped. "There it is now,
Maxwell!"
"What are you talking about,
Consuello?"
"The sign you idiot!"
"What sign?"
"The 'Beetle Collage' sign.
What's wrong with you, Thwack-dorf?
You are aware of how
important this mission is. Uncle
McArty told us that the future of
the nation depends on this mis-sion."
"I guess I'm not concentrating
too well tonight. I'm sorry Ms.
Fosdick."
"This is no time for apologies.
This is our first clue."
"How's that Consuello? Looks
to me like a freak art show!"
"Get with the program Max,
you know that beetles are red,
don't you?"
"That depends. The common
Eastern beetle is usually brown-ish-
black, and the yellow-spotted
Mountain beetle..."
"Forget it, beetle brains. Now
follow me down this road. It must
be the entrance."
Together they shuffled along
the road for about a hundred
yards. Maxwell ended the
silence. "What's that shack,
Consuello?"
"I am positive that it is their
secret security. This only con-firms
our suspicions. But look, no
one is there!"
"Some security."
"There must be a meeting of
the executives tonight."
"What executives, Consuello?"
"The party executives, you
know, the big-wigs."
"Oh, the bald people with the
fat heads!"
"Never mind. Those buildings
over there must be the head-quarters.
We better take a look...
mercy, look at those contraptions
on the grass!"
"I told you Consuello, that is
the art show."
"You fool, they will be used to
destroy the minds of our children.
What a sinister and evil plot!"
"This one would look great in
my room."
"Don't be silly; remember the
mission!"
With that, the sleuths walked in
the direction of a large structure
of cement and bricks. They
moved quickly, but quietly, their
eyes darting from side to side.
Consuello moaned. "Don't tell
me the doors are locked!"
"The doors are locked."
"I told you not to tell me that."
"But there must be another
entrance."
"Good thinking for once. Let's
go around to the other side."
Maxwell eargerly rushed be-fore
and then called back. "Hurry
Consuello, the door is open over
here!"

Dear Editor,
Of about 1900 students on this
campus, almost none participated
in Clash Day.
Why? I'm sure that a number
of students forgot, and many just
don't see a whole lot of value in it.
With these I sympathize. How-ever,
throughout the week, I kept
hearing statements like "Oh, for
childish!" and "Well, back to
high school!"
The apostle Paul, in I Corin-thians
4: 9-17, speaks of the way
in which the apostles were "...
made spectacle to the whole
universe," how they were "...
fools for Christ...," and how we
should follow their example.
Certainly, Clash Day was not
meant to glorify Christ in parti-cular,
but I think the lack of
participation may be an indication
of the importance Bethel students
have placed on appearance.
The atmosphere at Bethel is
one of the most loving and ac-cepting
I have ever encountered.
If we cannot be "fools" here, how
can we hope to withstand perse-cution
in the outside world, where
people are much more harsh? that matter, become too impor-
Let's follow the example of tant to us.

John Bower, chairman of the social work program, intends to
upgrade the department.
Bower 'ministers' in social work
by Ed Scott Palmquist
"I see Bethel's social work
program as a challenge," said
John Bower, Bethel's new chair-man
of social work. Bower thinks
a broad range of past experience
will aide him in making Bethel's
program accredited.
After graduating from Bagley
High School, Bower attended
Moody Bible Institute. Bower also
received degrees from North-western
and the University of
Minnesota. "Currently, I'm a
doctorate candidate at Kansas
State," said Bower.
Bower feels that his family has
moved "home," since he has
worked before in Minnesota.
Bower has worked for Hennepin
County's court services and for
Rudy Boschwitz, Republican
candidate for the US Senate will
speak on Monday, Oct. 23, at 2
p.m. in the AC lounge. Al Quie,
Wendell Anderson, and Bob
Short are also scheduled to appear
as part of the Senate's VOTE 78
program.
Quie, the Republican candidate
for governor, will tentatively be
here Wednesday, Oct. 25.
According to his scheduling
secretary, Senator Anderson plans
to remain in Washington for
much of the campaign, but will
make an effort to visit Bethel.
Senate candidate Short has a
full schedule but will come to
Bethel if he has an opening.
According to organizers, VOTE
78 is designed to educate and en-courage
student involvement
through voting and voter informa-tion.
VOTE 78 has already been re-sponsible
for several events, in-cluding
voter registration, a
League of Women Voters (LWV)
presentation, and campus visits by
Dave Durenberger and Quie's
running mate, Lou Wangberg.
The LWV appeared Tuesday
evening. Liz Ebbott, of the

At Tabor college, a Mennonite,
Brethren college in Kansas,
Bower helped develop a social
work program. "I think Tabor and
Bethel are similar in many
ways," said Bower. "It is exciting
to see the quality a small school
can produce."
"I feel there are an adequate
number of social work programs
throughout the country," said
Bower, "but I don't think there
are enough programs in institutes
with church settings."
Bower also stated that there are
many ways a Christian can apply
his faith in social work.
"Social work is my answer to
serving my fellow man in an
appropriate manner," said
LWV's state board, who specia-lizes
in campaign practices, and
Erica Buffington, who specializes
in government, held a discussion
on election issues and platforms.
Senate candidate Durenberger,
who is running against Short for
the Humphrey Senate seat, was
here Oct. 11, meeting people in
the halls and then holding a
meeting in the AC lounge.
Durenberger gave an opening
statement and then fielded ques-tions
from students and faculty.
Questions ranged from the
BWCA issue to international rela-tions.
Voter registration was on Oct.
11 and 12. Senate and non-Senate
volunteers ran the registration
process. About 125 students and
faculty registered.
Many out-of-state students,
who had not registered or applied
for an absentee ballot in their
home state, registered to vote in
Minnesota, with Bethel as their
legal address.
Lt. Gov. candidate Lou Wang-berg
visited Bethel yesterday. He
too gave an opening statement
and answered questions in the AC
lounge.
Bower. "It is a way of ministering
to people, but not necessarily in a
church context."
Bower also feels social work is a
way of "carrying out the man-dates
of the gospels."
"I feel that teaching social
work in a church-related college
also has its advantages," said
Bower. "I feel we are free to talk
about our responsibility as a
Christian in carrying out God's
will in our profession."
Bower feels that Bethel is a
high caliber institution in this as-pect
in many others. "I'm very
happy about my fellow faculty
and the student body," said
Bower.
Bower worked on a credit board
that evaluated Bethel's social
work program in the spring of '77.
"I think there is a rich base at
Bethel for a good social work
program," said Bower. "This
base comes from Bethel's acade-mic
disciplines."
"One of my goals is for our
program to associate with its
alumni better," said Bower. "I
would like our students to interact
with them on a one-to-one basis."
Besides exchanging ideas with
students and faculty, Bower also
enjoys sports. "Basketball, foot-ball,
and tennis are a few of my
favorites," said Bower.

Hagstrom residents are facing
two main options about where
they will live in the coming
months. Although the final deci-sion
about old campus housing is
up to the housing office, the
students are encouraged to make
their wishes known.
A meeting was held at 10 p.m.
Oct. 10, with the Hagstrom resi-dents,
to inform students of fu-ture
possibilities. Bruce Kunkel,
supervisor of old campus and
Fountain Terrace, explained the
two options as follows.
First, Hagstrom could remain
an all women dorm when Bodien
and Edgren move out, but have
an increase of security. (Security
details have not yet been dis-cussed
for this option.)
The second option is to move
the women out of one of Hag-strom's
floors, and move Edgren
men (who prefer to stay on old
campus) into that floor. First floor
would probably become the male-filled
floor, but this is not de-finite.
Some Hagstrom women might
prefer to stay in their dorm be-cause
of the increase of security.
The women who now live on the
floor that the men would occupy
would either move to new cam-pus,
or move to a different floor.
This option would lend itself to a
"built-in" security system.
The old campus residents will
move either the first of Decem-ber,
the first of January, or the
first of February, depending on
when the new dorms are coin-pleted.
Many questions were raised at
the Tuesday night meeting. Some
of the women wondered what
kind and how much security
would be provided if the dorm
were to stay all women. Others
wondered how Bethel would de-cide
who stays, and who moves if
Hagstrom becomes co-ed.
Some said they would like to be
permitted to buy only four meal
cards instead of the nine required

"Pilgrim Baptist Church is one
of the most influential centers for
black Christians in St. Paul,"
James Spickelmier, campus pas-tor,
claimed. The Rev. Earl Miller
from Pilgrim Baptist will be
speaking in chapel Wednesday,
Oct. 25.
Pilgrim Baptist Church is also
the largest black Baptist church in
St. Paul, having 1500 members.
Miller is coming because "we try
in chapel policy to have ministers
from the area minister to us. He's
a strong Christian voice in the
community," pastor Spickelmier
says.
Miller came to Pilgrim Baptist
less than two years ago. He was
previously dean of students at
Union Seminary in Richmond,
Va. He also received his masters
of Divinity and his Dr. of Ministry
from Virginia Union Seminary.

Others asked, "Would the bus

Brock reworks curriculum
The small-framed man wearing
black glasses running from Bethel
College carrying a briefcase, is
Dr. Gerald Brock, Bethel's addi-tion
to the economics department.
Living in Arden Hills, he usual-ly
jogs or walks to and from
school.
Dr. Brock said he enjoys teach-ing
at Bethel and is impressed
with the friendliness of Bethel
students.
His impression of Bethel stu-dents
was especially reinforced at
the beginning of the school year.
"I was waiting in the crowded,
disorganized food service line
with my tray of food, and noticed
how calm the students were in line
when compared to students at a
secular school," Brock said.
Dr. Brock received his B.A. and
Ph.D in economics from Harvard
University. He taught economics
and will also be out of Minnesota
to attend a conference on marri-age
counseling.
The Lindstedt family will
probably be spending more of
their time on campus.
Lindstedt is pursuing his doc-torate

while his wife is working in
the seminary library. The Lind-stedts

"Not so loud, we'll be de-tected."
Inside the building they looked
about curiously. Consuello point-ed
her finger toward a large
empty room. "Max, we should
investigate that room over
there." He hurried in first.
"There's writing on a blackboard
Consuello."
"What does it say?"
"Uhh...dialogue maternity,
must be a soap opera."
Consuello glanced at the board.
"Can't you read? That's dialecti-cal
materialism. And look here, a
volume on the political philosophy
of Martin Luther King Jr."
"Is that important?"
"Get with it. King was as pink
as you can get."
"Oh, wasn't he the leader of
the Pink Panthers."
Consuello turned to him with
disgust. "That was the Black Pan-thers,
but King was not the
leader!"
"You mean he was just one of
the members?"
"Blockhead..." she muttered,
"we better get out of here."
With that the two investigators
slipped out the entrance and
scurried around the building in
the opposite direction. "Hey Con-suello,
I hear noise like singing in
that long building over there."
"We should check this out, but
stay low and quiet."
at the University of Arizona for
five years prior to coming to
Bethel.
At the University of Arizona, he
taught graduates and concen-trated
on the research and writing
of economics. He said, "It is an
adjustment to teach undergradu-ates
and orient research toward a
Christian's perspective here at
Bethel."
Brock is married and has two
girls, ages 4 and 2. He said he
spends much of his free time with
them, but "doesn't have much
spare time these days."
As Chairman of the Economics
Department, Brock has many re-sponsibilities.
The department is,
"in the process of changing re-quirements
for economics, revis-ing
curriculum and looking for a
new faculty member. All this
takes up a lot of time," com-mented
Brock.
Brock's only- previous connec-tion
with Bethel was Wayne Gru-and
John Oase from Brazil.
From Bethel's point of view, it
is handy to have these people on
campus. During their stay, the
missionaries are often asked to
give classroom lectures, speak at
chapel or to advise potential
missionaries.
From the missionaries' stand-point,
the Chalberg Residence
means not having to worry about
finding a place to stay during
furlough. It also provides them
the convenience of using Bethel's
facilities, and with the opportun-ity
to take refresher courses at the
seminary.
Upon arriving at the source of
their curiosity, Consuello and
Maxwell pressed their noses
against a large, cold window pane
at the rear of the long building
and peered intently inside. "Con-suello,
there must be over 60
people in there, lounging around
and singing, and they are all
holding hands."
"Some of the men even have
beards. I knew it Maxwell, it's a
commune! Wait until Uncle Me-
Arty hears, ...someone's com-ing..."
Immediately Consuello and
Maxwell rushed headlong into a
wooded area behind the building.
They discovered a path and fol-lowed
it until they came to a small
lake.
"Consuello, something is corn-ing
up from under the water!"
"Submarines! This is terrible,
a foreign conspiracy right here!"
" Wow, I love submarine
races!"
"Shut up. Now let's get away
without being noticed. We have
all the proof we need."
With Maxwell stumbling along
behind Consuello, the detectives
disappeared into the darkness of
the night. "I still say it was an art
show..."
dem, assistant professor of theo-logy.
The two professors were room-mates
in undergraduate school
and are currently planning a re-search
project together on the
theological influences on econo-mic
thought. It is still in the
planning stage.
After Dean Brushaber re-quested
Brock to come to Bethel,
Brock said he "considered the
offer for quite some time and
eventually decided to come."
Brock said Bethel gives him,
"an opportunity to work with
other Christian faculty members
from a variety of disciplines in
clarifying the proper role of the
Christian in today's economic
world."
Most of Brock's extra-curricu-lar
activities are related to his job.
He claims, "You can integrate
your intellectual interests with
your job." He also enjoys pro-gramming
computers.
His biggest challenge here at
Bethel, he says, "is getting going
and getting the job done."
Dr Brock enjoys lecturing to
students most when they are

Coffee shop
changes,
doubles space
by Darla Boltz
Bethel's food service will take
on many changes within the next
few months, especially in the
coffee shop. Wayne Erickson, co-director
of food service, looks
forward to re-opening the coffee
shop sometime in December.
"The plans for the new coffee
shop double the former seating
space. Our new coffee shop
should seat a total of 276 people,"
Erickson said.
Erickson also reported that the
change will improve efficiency in
service. Two counters and two
cash registers will be used.
This way students buying ice
cream will not have to stand in
line behind someone waiting for a
grilled cheese sandwich.
Also, students will find shorter
lines and less congestion, Erick-son
said. It will be possible to
close the grill but keep the "ice
cream and hot dog" counter
open.

Five missionary families are
making the Bethel campus their
home while on furlough this year.
Herman Tegenfeldt, professor
of missions at Bethel Seminary,
said that these families have en-riched
life at Bethel since the
Chalberg Missionary Residence
opened 10 years ago.
The Chalberg Residence is lo-cated
one block north of the sem-inary
classrooms. It is financed
and operated by World Missions
although it lies on land rented
from Bethel.
Missionaries staying there en-joy
the comfort of furnished,
three-bedroom apartments dur-ing
their one-year vacation.
Whether it is really a 'vacation'
is debatable for the missionaries.
After 4 to 6 years in the field, a
missionary's furlough begins with
three months to visit relatives,
remedy health problems and take
care of personal problems.
The remainder of time in "the
States" is spent completing re-ports,
attending seminars and
visiting some of the 40 churches
across the area that support his
mission program.
The latter is Dana Larson's
main concern. The Larsons are
home for their second furlough
since they went to Argentina in
1970. Larson says he can not find
enough Sundays in the year to
speak at all of the congregations
that have supported him.
Larson has a short trip to India
planned during their furlough,

Coffee shop to include mosaic,
Johnson wort commissioned
by Jon Mogck
A 34-foot long mosaic will be a
part of the new coffee shop north
wall. Designed by Dale R. John-son,
associate professor of art,
the mosaic's 4,665 four by four
color tiles will capture and reflect
the light from the northern win-dows
in the new buildings.
Johnson has named the com-position
"Sun Through The
Clouds." The mosaic was de-signed
to "create an active, stim-ulating
abstract landscape in
mosaic tile that would bring vis-ual
excitement and color into the
lounge area," said Johnson. By
doing this he also hoped to
express life, vitality and inter-action.
"In this proposed mosaic I see
the simple motif of grass moved
by fresh breeze as a metaphor for
the Holy Spirit's work of love in
this Christian Learning Commun-ity,"
said Johnson.
One of the objectives for the
mosaic was to respond to the
architectural design of the "north
light" windows that will be put in
the building.
According to Johnson, "The
mosaic presents a simplified
The success of our program
depends largely upon the partici-pation
of the student body. So far
this semester, we have been more
than pleased with the encour-agement
and support that so
many of you have given us at our
various events. Our job would be
impossible if we did not receive
your help.
The events coming next week
include: Roller skating tonight at
Saints Roller Rink from 12 a.m. to
2 a.m. for new campus only. The
bus leaves from the gym at 11:30
p.m.
Tomorrow night will be a corn-edy
at the Guthrie, "Marriage,"
and a bus will leave at 6:30 p.m.
from the gym doors.
Next Friday, Oct. 27, will be a

landscape as a setting for a
brilliant light ray to pierce the
clouds and illuminate the field
below. This can be seen as a
metaphor for Christ as "light of
the world."
The mosaic will also have a
diagonal that will extend out 10
feet and then drop 6 feet to the
floor. The diagonal requires ex-tensive
the cutting but would
result in a "beautiful configura-tion
of color tile," Johnson said.
Other artists sent in designs
but the bulding committee sel-ected
Johnson's design.
"It's a good thing to see a
Christian college like Bethel
commissioning a work of art,
having it executed professionally,
and having it forever," stated
Johnson. "My hope is that stu-dents
will take time to look at it
carefully."
Johnson's idea was a natural
outgrowth of his work for the past
two years.
Johnson will oversee the build-ing
of the mosaic. An European-trained
tile setter will be brought
in to begin work on the mosaic as
soon as the new buildings are
structurally ready.
The mosaic will be completed
this year.

"When I go home, I might get
shot at the airport," said one
foreign student who asked not to
be identified.
Despite such odds, some
foreign students have chosen to
come to Bethel. These students
also often face miles of red tape
before they can study in the
United States.
For example, Ethiopian stu-dents
peed a good GPA (straight
A's) before they even think about
studying overseas.
Taye Birmachu, junior, said he
had to get cleared with the Ethio-pian
government before he could
leave the service. He was on
active duty for two years. The
government was then giving pre-ference
to students who wanted to
study in eastern countries such as
the USSR.
After all his papers had been
checked out, Taye went to the
Minister of Foreign Affairs. Next,
he went to the Minister of Interior
Affairs, who checked out his re-cords.
Mayo Clinic,
Red Cross
out for blood
The bi-annual Bethel blood
drive will be on Friday, Oct. 27
from 9: a.m. to 3: p.m. The
Red Cross is hoping for 290 pints
of blood from Bethel, the majority
of the blood going to Mayo Clinic.
Sue Smith and Carolyn Olson
are in charge of the drive, and the
committee members are: Lynne
Schroeder and Carol Dischinger,
recruitment of workers; Pam
Bickmore and Jenny Hoehl, re-cruitment
of donors; Cory Dahl,
publicity; and Ron Nilsson, set-up.
There will be sign-up sheets by
the P.O.'s next week for donors
and volunteers.
He then 'went to the Ethiopian
Immigration where he was check-ed
out thoroughly. Afterwards, he
went to the American Embassy
for his student visa and started
making contacts with friends in
the States, including Bethel
friends.
This took four months, even
though Taye had good connec-tions.
Before he left the country,

This will allow students to pur-chase
these items at certain
times, such as after basketball
games, when the coffee shop
would otherwise not be open.
Erickson said the new coffee
shop will allow more students to
make reservations for the Royal
Oak Room. He is also considering
longer hours for the Oak Room,
although this would mean closing
the coffee shop on Thursday
nights.
Not all of the changes in the
fOod services will be in the coffee
shop. Erickson is bringing back
the "special," which gives the
student a balanced meal at a
reduced rate.
Erickson stated that the price of
the "special" will always be less
than buying the items separately,
but will change from day to day.
"I am looking for students'
input so that changes can be
made to suit the student body,"
Erickson said.
Erickson hopes the Country
Store can be maintained. "It is
working well and allows faster
service for many students."
Taye was checked out thoroughly
at the airport by the Ethiopian
Immigration officials.
"Of the 200 who applied, I was
one of the four released," ex-claimed
Taye.
Taye's friend, Tecola Werku,
second semester freshman, was
not so lucky. He applied for a visa
at the same time as Taye but was
not able to leave until last Jan-uary.
"I owe it to the Lord that I can
here," said Tecola. He refused a
scholarship to the USSR and
waited three years to come to
Bethel.
While Tecola was waiting for
his visa, the Ethiopians had some
conflict with the Russians. During
this time, the Ethiopian govern-ment
relaxed its rules and Tecola
was allowed to leave the country.
One month after Tecola left
Ethiopia, no one was allowed to
leave the country.
Sara Haile Sellasie, an Ethio-pian
freshman, had problems get-ting
clearance. "The problem was
that I did not finish one year of
the required national service. I
served for only eight months and
had to leave because of medical
reasons, explained Sara.
Sara grew up with the Sudan
Interior Missions (SIM). Her
sponsor, who worked with SIM,
now lives at Waterloo, Iowa, Sara
finished a year of high school at
Waterloo before coming to
Bethel.

"Kennedy's Children," a play
which portrays the progression of
modern man's dreams into night-mares,
opened last Friday at the
Chimera's Edyth Bush Theatre.
As the play opens, the five
characters in the play production
are seated separately at a bar,
and take turns describing the
focal points of their lives to the
audience, but have no interaction
amongst themselves.
Each of the bar's customers is
still living on successes and fail-ures
they had in the 196;'s.
Although the play is set in 1974,
the characters can only see pre-sent
reality as an opportunity for
lamenting the past.
The customers portray Ken-nedy's
assassination, student un-rest
and revolt movements, Mari-lyn
Monroe's death, living in a
counter-culture and the Vietnam

An attorney-author team,
George and Margaret Hardisty of
Concord, Calif., will lead a con-vocation
on Fri., Oct. 27. An en-richment
seminar on marriage and
personal relationships will follow
at the seminary on Oct. 27 and 28.
Lectures, workshops and ques-tion-
answer periods are planned.
Special sessions for single,
widowed and divorced persons
will be included, and the Hard-istys
will be available for in-dividual
counseling after the ses-sions.
Margaret Hardisty is the au-thor
of "Forever My Love," a
bestselling book on marriage re-lationships.
She has written num-erous
short stories, plays and
musicals. She co-authored "Hon-est
Questions, Honest Answers"
with her husband.
Her husband George is an
attorney, counselor and lecturer.
He serves on the board of dir-ectors
and several nationally
known organizations.
The seminar is open to college
and seminary faculty, staff and
students. On the 27th, the sem-inar
will be from 7-10 p.m. and on
the 28th, from 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Twelve Bethel students and
faculty members attended the
Wheaton Philosophy Conference
on Oct. 12-14.
Sponsored by Wheaton College
in Illinois, the 25th Annual Phil-osophy
Conference provided an
opportunity for Christian philoso-phers
to present and discuss
theories relating to religious
language.
The distinguished lecturer for
the event was William Alston,
currently chairman of the Univer-sity
of Illinois' philosophy de-partment.
His topic for the Thursday
evening opening lecture was
"Can We Speak Literally About
God?" "Symbolic Interpretations
of Theological Discourse" was
the subject of his second lecture.
"I'm glad I went. It was a
learning experience for me even
though I couldn't understand a lot
of it," said junior Mark Kershaw.
Participants "attended lectures,
seminars, chapel and informal
dialogues and discussions. Sem-inars
consisted of a professor
reading his paper on an aspect of
religious language. A response by
another educator and a time of
questions by the audience fol-lowed.
"The people from Bethel
seemed to like best Jerry Gill's
"The Orphic Voice: Language,
Reality and Faith" and James
Spiceland's "D.Z. Phillips on Re-ligious
Language."
They were the clearest pre-sentations
and seemed to deal
with fundamental issues involved
in the problems of religious
/
Due to the non-interacting dia-logue
of the play, there is very
little action on stage. All energy
has to come from the dialogues
themselves, which was carried
out quite well by the cast. Each
role came with its own set of
mannerisms and vocabulary
which separated the characters
distinctly.
"Kennedy's Children" is not
an entertaining production, al-though
there is humor spread
throughout the dialogues. It is an
intense reflection on the tragedies
of the 60's and their repercus-sions
still evident today.
language. "They also had the
most interesting discussion after-wards,"
said Randy Johnson,
philosophy instructor.
The conference was not strictly
intellectual. People had a chance
to socialize through coffee breaks,
a trip into downtown Chicago and
nights in a dorm or with friends.
Margaret Van Etten, a sopho-more
said, "The conference is not
only for philosophers. This year's
was also good for Bible or
theology majors. I had a good
time. The girl I stayed with was
very nice. She made an effort to
be with me as much as possible."
Instructor Randy Johnson sum-marized
the conference as being,
at times disappointing, at times
stimulating, and, overall, rewar-ding.
It provided for greater unity
and more informal fellowship bet-ween
students and faculty."
involved in activities they plan to
set up.
Some of the committees are in
charge of such things as missions,
social and political action, cultural
life and recreation.
Joy feels that one of the pri-mary
goals for this year is "to
recognize the potential of student
senate and really work at it."
She hopes the senate can "en-hance
the academic end of semin-ary
by complementing it," Joy
hopes to do this by planning
ahead and preparing activities for
this year.
The seminary senate has an
open relationship with the ad-ministration.
One of the senate
members is a faculty representa-tive
who is also the dean of
students. Joy sits in and contri-butes
to the Board of Regents
meetings.
Joy thinks the seminary senate
is in for an "exciting" year.
They hope to use the senate "as
an instrument for personal and
institutional growth."
As for the future, the senate
aims to unfold into a "more vital
vehicle of communication."

Quie rallies for support,
threatens DFL influence
After twenty years in Washing-ton,
Al Quie is taking on a new
challenge. With running mate Lou
Wangberg, he is attempting to
unseat Rudy Perpich as Minne-sota's
governor, and end DFL
dominance in state politics.
He is tentatively scheduled to
appear at Bethel on Wed. Oct. 25.
Quie was born near Dennison,
Minn., and still operates a farm in
the area. After serving as a Navy
pilot in World War II, Quie
enrolled at St. Olaf college. Quie
first encountered politics at St.
Olaf, being elected president of
the Young Republicans Club.
Four years after he graduated in
1950, Quie was elected to the Min-nesota
State Senate. In a 1958
special election, he won a U.S.
Congressional seat.
Since that election, Quie has

won 11 consecutive Congressional
campaigns as a Republican, the
last with 69 per cent of the vote.
This is especially noteworthy be-cause
of the usually strong
Democratic leanings of the area.
Quie is now the ranking minori-ty
member of the House Educa-tion
and Labor Committee. He is
a nationally recognized leader in
educational legislation.
In 1976, the American Council
on Learning Disabilities honored
Quie with its highest national
award for his role in passing a bill
guaranteeing public education
programs to all handicapped
children. He also holds seven
honorary doctorate degrees.
Throughout his career, Quie
has been recognized as a politician
with integrity. Though he has not
been advertised for his "born
againness," Quie says his faith has
been a central focus of his life.
His involvement in Washington
prayer groups, and his ministry to
Chuck Colson have been well-do-cumented.
Quie's present platform in-cludes
an "inflation proofed" tax
plan and policies for initiative and
referendum.
Initiative, another of Quie's
proposals, is a process by which,
through petition, people may
write laws for submission to the
voter.

Another Ethiopian, Eshete
Kirkos, freshman, has an unusual
story. By the time he was ready to
come to Bethel, the Ethiopian
government was not allowing
anybody to leave the country.
So Eshete got an intransit visa

He was there for six weeks. Dur-ing
that time, he went to the
American Embassy and managed
to get a visa from there.
"It was a miracle that I got
here," said Eshete, echoing the

service. This year the rice bowls
sell at lunch on Mondays for one
dollar. Because food service do-nates
the rice, the entire dollar
provides for the needs of the
children.
PAC chose to raise money by
selling rice, because they be-lieved
the visible presence of the
rice bowl would cause the Bethel
community to reflect upon the
problems on the Third World.
Money for the program does
not come from rice sales alone.
Proceeds from fundraisers such
as pumpkin sales, bake sales and
volleyball marathons supplement
the income from rice sales.
Pictures of the five children and
their letters are displayed on the
bulletin board in the FA building.
Two of the children are girls;
three are boys. Their ages range
between 8 and 14. This display
calls them "our children."
The children also see them-selves
as "our children." Every
three months they send letters to
PAC to inform us how they are
and what they're doing. Each
letter is signed "your son," or
"your daughter."
Rice Bowl is just one of the
programs PAC directs in the
name of the Bethel community.
Each year all of PAC's programs
focus on one social concern—this
year it is human rights.
PAC states that their primary
function is to "address ourselves
to salient social concerns and seek
to sensitize students to these
issues, thus enhancing the image
of Bethel as a concerned Christian
community."

Second half comeback
spurs Mankato victory
by G.W. Smith
Hosting the Mankato Maver-icks
for homecoming didn't seem
to be such a bad idea, especially
when fullback Greg Sutton cross-ed
the goal line untouched in the
second quarter, giving the Royals
a 17-0 lead.
And when quarterback Lonnie
Holmgren combined with Sutton
and wide receiver Rich Graves to
convert a Mankato fumble into
another Royals' touchdown, all
looked well for the Bethel blue.
But trailing 24-7, the Mavericks
refused to succumb to the Royals'
attack and went on to win, 35-24.
The Royals' first score came ear-ly
in the first quarter as Bethel's
defense squared off against the
Mankato offense.
On first down and 25, following
a personal foul against Mankato,
defensive backs Scott Engstrom
and Greg Peterson combined to
foil an attempted Mankato pass.
On third and 21, safety Randy
Fredine snatched a Mankato
receiver and tackled him 15 yards
short of the first down.
With Mankato punting on
fourth down, cornerback Peter-son
crashed into the Mankato
backfield and blocked the punt.
Scooping up the football, Peter-son
sprinted into the end zone for
th Royals' first score.
by Steve Erickson
The Bethel soccer team failed to
take advantage of a key oppor-tunity
last week, losing to and ty-ing
two of the lesser teams in the
conference.
Mankato quarterback Bill
Maples surprised the Royals mid-way
through the second quarter,
throwing a 72-yard touchdown
pass to wide receiver Scott Mayes,
trimming the Royals' margin to
24-14.
Primed by the touchdown, the
Mankato defense held Bethel to
only one first down on their next
series, forcing the Royals to punt.
After halting Mankato at their
own 36-yard line, the Royals
regained possession with twelve
seconds left in the half. From
there Holmgren launched three in-complete
passes and the half end-ed
with Bethel still leading 24-14.
In the second half the Maver-icks
quickly captured the lead
from the Royals, capitalizing on a
blocked punt and a fumbled
kickoff. Mankato led for the first
time in the game, 28-24.
"We really had them on the
rails the first half," said head
coach Reynolds. "They didn't
earn one touchdown."
The Royals' offense, handily
controlling the Mankato defense
in the first half, found themselves
coming up consistently short in
the second half. Twice the Royals
moved the ball to within the
Mankato fifteen-yard line, failing
to score both times.
"We can't seem to eliminate
those few little mistakes," said
Reynolds.
"We're an awfully good foot-ball
team to be 2-4."

The volleyball team lost a well-played
to match to Carleton, and
then narrowly escaped an upset by
Northwestern last week.
Carleton defeated the Royals in
three straight games, 11-15, 2-15,
and 9-15. Both teams played well,
sustaining several long rallies.
The Royals were outserved in
the first game, but were able to
match the blocks and spikes of
Macalester the win. The Scotties
applied pressure throughout the
half before finally scoring.
The first half was played fairly
evenly. Bethel controlled the early
going with crisp passing. Doug
Hage put the Royals ahead 1-0,
spinning 180 degrees to fire the
ball past the goalie.
As has happened in past games,
Bethel relaxed after controlling
the early play. Macalester stormed
back with two quick goals. The
first was scored on a lofted shot
into the top left-hand corner. The
second Mac goal came on a re-bound
after goalie Jeff Beckman
misplayed a shot.
The Royals tied the score at 2-2
late in the half. Joe Clement was
tripped in the penalty area and
Greg Thom converted the penalty
shot.
Saturday's game was played in
cold, blustery weather. Both
teams controlled the ball well in
the middle of the field but had
trouble as they neared the goal.
The only goals of the game
came midway through the first
half.
An unmarked St. Mary's for-ward
put in the first tally, heading
the ball off a corner kick. Five
minutes later, Bethel knotted the
score on a nifty passing play from
Tim Morin to Hage to Scott
Feltman who knocked in his
fourth goal of the season.

Last Saturday Bethel finished
first in a close meet with the
University of Wisconsin, Superior
(UWS) and rival Northwestern.
All of the Bethel harriers ran their
best times this season on the five-mile
Como course.
A pack of five Bethel runners;
freshmen Bob Holt, Mark Doner
and Ross Fleming, and juniors,
Jim Feleen and Randy Bostrom;
stuck together for two miles,
keeping Northwestern's fifth man
back two places and putting
Bethel in good position for the
victory.
Dave Clapp achieved a personal
best of 26:54. His previous best
was 27:17 which Clapp ran on the
Como course earlier this season.
when Mandy Fawley came into
the game providing good serving
and key hits. But the rally fell
short.
Bethel had trouble with the
shorter Northwestern team, but
managed to pull out a win in four
games, 15-11, 3-15, 15-12, and
18-16.
The Royals fell behind in every
game, but always came back at
crucial points. Northwestern
played aggressively and blocked
several of Bethel's spikes.
Northwestern scored seven
straight points early in the first
game, but Bethel came back to
win when Sheryl Meyer served
five points, including an ace.
The Royals were not aggressive
in the second game, and North-western
defeated them easily.
They again fell behind late in
the third game, but excellent
serving by Lori Olsen put Bethel
back in the lead.
Bethel came from behind in the
fourth game to tie the score at
14-14, and then finally won 18-16.

Randy (Rudy) Bostrom also

Coach Gene Glader attributed
the better times and victory to the
season's progressing and the run-ners

was a beautiful day for running,
cool and calm. We had good com-petition.
"The pack of five helped; they

Bethel College St. Paul, Minn. Vol 54 No. 5 October 20, 1978 Four Bethel professors work onNIV translation by Mark Rentz
The entire Bible in the New
International Version, published
this month, marks the end of a
10-year project by over a hundred
scholars, including four Bethel
professors.
This enormous work may be
one of the most significant and
widely accepted Bible transla-tions
into English in centuries.
Already the pre-sales for the NW
are above 1 million copies.
The New Testament version
has been available since 1973,
and has justified its existence by
public demand and acceptance.
Bethel radio KABY will not be
on the air this fall, due to lack of
space and lack of a faculty ad-visor.
If the station were to be aired, it
would need to use the office that
Dr. Roy Wilbee is presently using,
and at this time no other space is
available.
Last Tuesday, the Senate mov-
The four Bethel professors are
Dr. Arthur Lewis and Dr. Walter
Wessel of the College, and Dr.
Donald Madvig and Dr. Ronald
Youngblood of the Seminary.
Dr. Youngblood has since last
spring taken the position of dean-elect
of the Wheaton Graduate
School.
Dr. Wessel, the first of the
Bethel professors to be involved
on the project, is professor of Bib-lical
studies and worked on the
New Testament portion.

and theology, and Dr. Ronald
ed to table the bill, and KABY's
establishment will be postponed
indefinitely. Senate and admini-stration
will still need to approve
the bill before the radio station
will be on the air.
The earliest KABY could be on
the air would be next semester,
when the offices in the new annex
will be completed.
Youngblood, professor of Old
Testament were both involved in
the Old Testament portion.
Dr. Madvig, professor of Old
Testament, was one of the few
translators to work on both the
Old and New Testaments.
"The NIV," said Dr. Lewis,
"was begun with the aim of
becoming the standard edition for
public worship."
Dr. Edwin Palmer, the execu-tive
secretary of the translation
committee (as interviewed in the
October "Eternity"), explained
by Beth Rainbow
A plus and minus grading
policy has been approved by
faculty members, although con-verting
to the system this year is
financially impossible. Dwight
Jessup, director of academic af-fairs,
said the change has been
"put on hold" until Bethel can
accommodate the cost.
The data processing firm,
which handles Bethel's grades,
estimates that making the change
would cost between $2000 and
$3000. "We didn't foresee that
switching the computers over
would cost so much," said Jes-sup.
"We simply do not have that
money."
The new plus and minus sy-stem
will be in effect when it will
be financially feasible.
This system will affect stu-dents'
grade point averages
(GPA). Such a system allows
teachers to choose from these
passing grades: A, A-, B+, B,
B-, C + , C, C-, D + , and D.
A plus increases grade points by
.3, and a minus decreases grade
point by 0.3.
Teachers in the science and
math fields, where points deter-mine
grades objectively, tend to
be more in favor of the policy than
those in the humanities.
Lynn Fauth, English literature
instructor, commented, "It's
difficult enough for an English
teacher to assign a letter grade to
a paper. Now we have to decide
between degrees of letters."
Jim Torgerson, vice president
of the student association, said he
voted in favor of the system last
year as a student member of the
academic policy committee be-cause
students had been request-ing
the plus and minus policy.
how some versions are very ac-curate
in their translation but use
archaic and unnatural language,
which often dulls the meaning.
The other extreme is modern
translations that are too free, too
paraphrastic, so that while they
are easy to read and understand,
they may be deviating from the
text.
Sometimes accuracy and clarity
are on opposite ends of the
continuum, but Dr. Wessel em-phasized
that, "The NW attempts
a middle of the road approach. It
has accuracy and clarity, without
"Student opinion is generally
for the new grading system,"
said Torgerson. "It would pro-bably
only hurt people with ex-tremely
high GPA's who might
get A-'s and not end up with
4.0."
The recommendation of the
grading policy came from Philip
Sackett, chairman of last year's
academic policy committee. Sack-ett
first introduced the system to
that committee.
After holding several open
hearings, the academic policy
committee voted in favor of the
plus and minus system. The
proposal was then taken to a
faculty meeting, where teachers
also voted to adopt it, although
the vote was not unanimous.
"I was strongly in favor of the
plus and minus policy and I was
disappointed to see it delayed this
year," said Sackett.
The system provides an incen-tive
to students who settle for less
than best effort studying. Sackett
said he is eager to see the new
policy carried through because,
"it will stimulate students to work
harder."
A student can't, for example,
complete the minimum amount of
work for an A and still earn 4.0.
Instead, 4.0 is awarded for A
work, and an A- receives 3.7.
"The issue is by no means
dead," explained Jessup. "It
may take a year or two before the
system actually changes, but a
definite decision to adopt the plus
and minus policy has been
made."
Meanwhile, Bethel will either
try a different data processing
firm, or budget the money ahead
of time. Jessup mentioned that in
the future, Bethel might do its
own computer work.
the loss of dignity."
The NIV is a new translation.
All work was done by translating
from the original languages.
"The actual translation was
fascinating," said Dr. Lewis. "It
was an opportunity to do meticu-lous
study in the scripture. Every
word must be thought through as
to how it can be communicated.
"It's puzzling to find the best
word equivalent in English.
Sometimes hours were spent on
just a word."
"It was a costly and complex
process," added Dr. Wessel.
"The translation of a book began
with a team of scholars. Their
work was sent to consultants who
made suggestions for improve-ment.
"The translation was then re-worked
and revised verse by
verse by an Intermediate Edi-torial
Committee. Each change
was by majority vote. Then the
translation was revised by a Gen-eral
Editorial Committee.
"During the phases of editorial
work, copies of the translation
were sent to various pastors,
English stylists, scholars, and lay
people for suggestions and criti-cism.
"Then finally, the translation
was revised and edited for a third
time by the governing Committee
on Bible Translation. Now it was
ready to be included in the NIV."
Another significant character-istic
of the NIV is that it's a pro-duct
of mainly American evangel-ical
scholarship. All major deno-minations
were represented.
Dr. Wessel said, "We seem to
be in some kind of second Golden
Age of translating the Bible into
English.
"The first Age began with the
translation of the Tyndale and
ended with the King James Ver-sion
(1530's-1611). A lot of trans-lations
were done during this time.
Intensive translation work began
again in the 1920's and has con-tinued
up to the present day."
Is the New International Ver-sion
the climax of this new Golden
Age?

Opinion
Maintain spirituality
Ken Gowdy's chapel message on Monday served as a warning and an
inspiration to the entire Bethel community. In his research of church-related
colleges, he found that academic improvement in a school is
related to a decline it its formal relationship with its sponsoring chur-ches.
His evidence is solid and his research convincing. His message
should be taken seriously.
One could contend that Bethel is not like the others, that with God's
help, Bethel can retain its spiritual emphasis. But the statistics are hard
to refute. Gowdy quoted Jenks as saying that there has never been a rise
in a college's academic standards without a concurrent drop in the
religious.
We believe that without continuing awareness of this probability, and
a concerted effort to overcome it, Bethel's spirituality is in danger.
We do not feel, however, that Gowdy is necessarily a prophet of
doom. Bethel is unique among church-related colleges in Minnesota.
For the past 30 years, it has retained a fairly high level of formal
religious standards and strong ties to the Baptist General Conference,
while gaining a reputation for strong academic standards.
There are many who deserve credit and thanks for this unique posi-tion,
including President Lundquist and Dean Brushaber. To anyone
with even a limited contact with Lundquist, it is obvious that his
priorities are spiritual.
Brushaber has done an outstanding job of recruiting commited Chris-tians
to Bethel's faculty. In the future, it will be these leaders (faculty
and administration) who will make or break Bethel's religious stan-dards.
Gowdy's message was thought provoking. We should be thankful for
the spirituality of Bethel, so far. Even more, we should be aware and
ready to face the possibilities for the future.

`Beetle Collage' invaded,
spies detect conspiracy
by Rick Chapman
On a cool and crisp October
evening, two distinctive looking
individuals dressed in trench
coats and derbies crept slowly
along an old country road. Sud-denly
the shorter member of the
two stopped. "There it is now,
Maxwell!"
"What are you talking about,
Consuello?"
"The sign you idiot!"
"What sign?"
"The 'Beetle Collage' sign.
What's wrong with you, Thwack-dorf?
You are aware of how
important this mission is. Uncle
McArty told us that the future of
the nation depends on this mis-sion."
"I guess I'm not concentrating
too well tonight. I'm sorry Ms.
Fosdick."
"This is no time for apologies.
This is our first clue."
"How's that Consuello? Looks
to me like a freak art show!"
"Get with the program Max,
you know that beetles are red,
don't you?"
"That depends. The common
Eastern beetle is usually brown-ish-
black, and the yellow-spotted
Mountain beetle..."
"Forget it, beetle brains. Now
follow me down this road. It must
be the entrance."
Together they shuffled along
the road for about a hundred
yards. Maxwell ended the
silence. "What's that shack,
Consuello?"
"I am positive that it is their
secret security. This only con-firms
our suspicions. But look, no
one is there!"
"Some security."
"There must be a meeting of
the executives tonight."
"What executives, Consuello?"
"The party executives, you
know, the big-wigs."
"Oh, the bald people with the
fat heads!"
"Never mind. Those buildings
over there must be the head-quarters.
We better take a look...
mercy, look at those contraptions
on the grass!"
"I told you Consuello, that is
the art show."
"You fool, they will be used to
destroy the minds of our children.
What a sinister and evil plot!"
"This one would look great in
my room."
"Don't be silly; remember the
mission!"
With that, the sleuths walked in
the direction of a large structure
of cement and bricks. They
moved quickly, but quietly, their
eyes darting from side to side.
Consuello moaned. "Don't tell
me the doors are locked!"
"The doors are locked."
"I told you not to tell me that."
"But there must be another
entrance."
"Good thinking for once. Let's
go around to the other side."
Maxwell eargerly rushed be-fore
and then called back. "Hurry
Consuello, the door is open over
here!"

Dear Editor,
Of about 1900 students on this
campus, almost none participated
in Clash Day.
Why? I'm sure that a number
of students forgot, and many just
don't see a whole lot of value in it.
With these I sympathize. How-ever,
throughout the week, I kept
hearing statements like "Oh, for
childish!" and "Well, back to
high school!"
The apostle Paul, in I Corin-thians
4: 9-17, speaks of the way
in which the apostles were "...
made spectacle to the whole
universe," how they were "...
fools for Christ...," and how we
should follow their example.
Certainly, Clash Day was not
meant to glorify Christ in parti-cular,
but I think the lack of
participation may be an indication
of the importance Bethel students
have placed on appearance.
The atmosphere at Bethel is
one of the most loving and ac-cepting
I have ever encountered.
If we cannot be "fools" here, how
can we hope to withstand perse-cution
in the outside world, where
people are much more harsh? that matter, become too impor-

John Bower, chairman of the social work program, intends to
upgrade the department.
Bower 'ministers' in social work
by Ed Scott Palmquist
"I see Bethel's social work
program as a challenge," said
John Bower, Bethel's new chair-man
of social work. Bower thinks
a broad range of past experience
will aide him in making Bethel's
program accredited.
After graduating from Bagley
High School, Bower attended
Moody Bible Institute. Bower also
received degrees from North-western
and the University of
Minnesota. "Currently, I'm a
doctorate candidate at Kansas
State," said Bower.
Bower feels that his family has
moved "home," since he has
worked before in Minnesota.
Bower has worked for Hennepin

Rudy Boschwitz, Republican
candidate for the US Senate will
speak on Monday, Oct. 23, at 2
p.m. in the AC lounge. Al Quie,
Wendell Anderson, and Bob
Short are also scheduled to appear
as part of the Senate's VOTE 78
program.
Quie, the Republican candidate
for governor, will tentatively be
here Wednesday, Oct. 25.
According to his scheduling
secretary, Senator Anderson plans
to remain in Washington for
much of the campaign, but will
make an effort to visit Bethel.
Senate candidate Short has a
full schedule but will come to
Bethel if he has an opening.
According to organizers, VOTE
78 is designed to educate and en-courage
student involvement
through voting and voter informa-tion.
VOTE 78 has already been re-sponsible
for several events, in-cluding
voter registration, a
League of Women Voters (LWV)
presentation, and campus visits by
Dave Durenberger and Quie's
running mate, Lou Wangberg.

At Tabor college, a Mennonite,
Brethren college in Kansas,
Bower helped develop a social
work program. "I think Tabor and
Bethel are similar in many
ways," said Bower. "It is exciting
to see the quality a small school
can produce."
"I feel there are an adequate
number of social work programs
throughout the country," said
Bower, "but I don't think there
are enough programs in institutes
with church settings."
Bower also stated that there are
many ways a Christian can apply
his faith in social work.
"Social work is my answer to
serving my fellow man in an
appropriate manner," said
LWV's state board, who specia-lizes
in campaign practices, and
Erica Buffington, who specializes
in government, held a discussion
on election issues and platforms.
Senate candidate Durenberger,
who is running against Short for
the Humphrey Senate seat, was
here Oct. 11, meeting people in
the halls and then holding a
meeting in the AC lounge.
Durenberger gave an opening
statement and then fielded ques-tions
from students and faculty.
Questions ranged from the
BWCA issue to international rela-tions.
Voter registration was on Oct.
11 and 12. Senate and non-Senate
volunteers ran the registration
process. About 125 students and
faculty registered.
Many out-of-state students,
who had not registered or applied
for an absentee ballot in their
home state, registered to vote in
Minnesota, with Bethel as their
legal address.
Lt. Gov. candidate Lou Wang-berg
visited Bethel yesterday. He
too gave an opening statement
and answered questions in the AC
lounge.
Bower. "It is a way of ministering
to people, but not necessarily in a
church context."
Bower also feels social work is a
way of "carrying out the man-dates
of the gospels."
"I feel that teaching social
work in a church-related college
also has its advantages," said
Bower. "I feel we are free to talk
about our responsibility as a
Christian in carrying out God's
will in our profession."
Bower feels that Bethel is a
high caliber institution in this as-pect
in many others. "I'm very
happy about my fellow faculty
and the student body," said
Bower.
Bower worked on a credit board
that evaluated Bethel's social
work program in the spring of '77.
"I think there is a rich base at
Bethel for a good social work
program," said Bower. "This
base comes from Bethel's acade-mic
disciplines."
"One of my goals is for our
program to associate with its
alumni better," said Bower. "I
would like our students to interact
with them on a one-to-one basis."
Besides exchanging ideas with
students and faculty, Bower also
enjoys sports. "Basketball, foot-ball,
and tennis are a few of my
favorites," said Bower.

Hagstrom residents are facing
two main options about where
they will live in the coming
months. Although the final deci-sion
about old campus housing is
up to the housing office, the
students are encouraged to make
their wishes known.
A meeting was held at 10 p.m.
Oct. 10, with the Hagstrom resi-dents,
to inform students of fu-ture
possibilities. Bruce Kunkel,
supervisor of old campus and
Fountain Terrace, explained the
two options as follows.
First, Hagstrom could remain
an all women dorm when Bodien
and Edgren move out, but have
an increase of security. (Security
details have not yet been dis-cussed
for this option.)
The second option is to move
the women out of one of Hag-strom's
floors, and move Edgren
men (who prefer to stay on old
campus) into that floor. First floor
would probably become the male-filled
floor, but this is not de-finite.
Some Hagstrom women might
prefer to stay in their dorm be-cause
of the increase of security.
The women who now live on the
floor that the men would occupy
would either move to new cam-pus,
or move to a different floor.
This option would lend itself to a
"built-in" security system.
The old campus residents will
move either the first of Decem-ber,
the first of January, or the
first of February, depending on
when the new dorms are coin-pleted.
Many questions were raised at
the Tuesday night meeting. Some
of the women wondered what
kind and how much security
would be provided if the dorm
were to stay all women. Others
wondered how Bethel would de-cide
who stays, and who moves if
Hagstrom becomes co-ed.
Some said they would like to be
permitted to buy only four meal
cards instead of the nine required

"Pilgrim Baptist Church is one
of the most influential centers for
black Christians in St. Paul,"
James Spickelmier, campus pas-tor,
claimed. The Rev. Earl Miller
from Pilgrim Baptist will be
speaking in chapel Wednesday,
Oct. 25.
Pilgrim Baptist Church is also
the largest black Baptist church in
St. Paul, having 1500 members.
Miller is coming because "we try
in chapel policy to have ministers
from the area minister to us. He's
a strong Christian voice in the
community," pastor Spickelmier
says.
Miller came to Pilgrim Baptist
less than two years ago. He was
previously dean of students at
Union Seminary in Richmond,
Va. He also received his masters
of Divinity and his Dr. of Ministry
from Virginia Union Seminary.

Others asked, "Would the bus

questions were numerous. And

Bruce Kunkel will also be able to
answer questions.

Brock reworks curriculum
The small-framed man wearing
black glasses running from Bethel
College carrying a briefcase, is
Dr. Gerald Brock, Bethel's addi-tion
to the economics department.
Living in Arden Hills, he usual-ly
jogs or walks to and from
school.
Dr. Brock said he enjoys teach-ing
at Bethel and is impressed
with the friendliness of Bethel
students.
His impression of Bethel stu-dents
was especially reinforced at
the beginning of the school year.
"I was waiting in the crowded,
disorganized food service line
with my tray of food, and noticed
how calm the students were in line
when compared to students at a
secular school," Brock said.
Dr. Brock received his B.A. and
Ph.D in economics from Harvard
University. He taught economics
and will also be out of Minnesota
to attend a conference on marri-age
counseling.
The Lindstedt family will
probably be spending more of
their time on campus.
Lindstedt is pursuing his doc-torate
of ministries at the semin-ary
while his wife is working in
the seminary library. The Lind-stedts
have been working in the
Philippines where, until last year,
Mr. Lindstedt was president of
the Baptist seminary.
- The other three on furlough are
Harvey Espland, who is also from
the Philippines, and John Marrs ow.

"Not so loud, we'll be de-tected."
Inside the building they looked
about curiously. Consuello point-ed
her finger toward a large
empty room. "Max, we should
investigate that room over
there." He hurried in first.
"There's writing on a blackboard
Consuello."
"What does it say?"
"Uhh...dialogue maternity,
must be a soap opera."
Consuello glanced at the board.
"Can't you read? That's dialecti-cal
materialism. And look here, a
volume on the political philosophy
of Martin Luther King Jr."
"Is that important?"
"Get with it. King was as pink
as you can get."
"Oh, wasn't he the leader of
the Pink Panthers."
Consuello turned to him with
disgust. "That was the Black Pan-thers,
but King was not the
leader!"
"You mean he was just one of
the members?"
"Blockhead..." she muttered,
"we better get out of here."
With that the two investigators
slipped out the entrance and
scurried around the building in
the opposite direction. "Hey Con-suello,
I hear noise like singing in
that long building over there."
"We should check this out, but
stay low and quiet."
at the University of Arizona for
five years prior to coming to
Bethel.
At the University of Arizona, he
taught graduates and concen-trated
on the research and writing
of economics. He said, "It is an
adjustment to teach undergradu-ates
and orient research toward a
Christian's perspective here at
Bethel."
Brock is married and has two
girls, ages 4 and 2. He said he
spends much of his free time with
them, but "doesn't have much
spare time these days."
As Chairman of the Economics
Department, Brock has many re-sponsibilities.
The department is,
"in the process of changing re-quirements
for economics, revis-ing
curriculum and looking for a
new faculty member. All this
takes up a lot of time," com-mented
Brock.
Brock's only- previous connec-tion
with Bethel was Wayne Gru-and
John Oase from Brazil.
From Bethel's point of view, it
is handy to have these people on
campus. During their stay, the
missionaries are often asked to
give classroom lectures, speak at
chapel or to advise potential
missionaries.
From the missionaries' stand-point,
the Chalberg Residence
means not having to worry about
finding a place to stay during
furlough. It also provides them
the convenience of using Bethel's
facilities, and with the opportun-ity
to take refresher courses at the
seminary.
Upon arriving at the source of
their curiosity, Consuello and
Maxwell pressed their noses
against a large, cold window pane
at the rear of the long building
and peered intently inside. "Con-suello,
there must be over 60
people in there, lounging around
and singing, and they are all
holding hands."
"Some of the men even have
beards. I knew it Maxwell, it's a
commune! Wait until Uncle Me-
Arty hears, ...someone's com-ing..."
Immediately Consuello and
Maxwell rushed headlong into a
wooded area behind the building.
They discovered a path and fol-lowed
it until they came to a small
lake.
"Consuello, something is corn-ing
up from under the water!"
"Submarines! This is terrible,
a foreign conspiracy right here!"
" Wow, I love submarine
races!"
"Shut up. Now let's get away
without being noticed. We have
all the proof we need."
With Maxwell stumbling along
behind Consuello, the detectives
disappeared into the darkness of
the night. "I still say it was an art
show..."
dem, assistant professor of theo-logy.
The two professors were room-mates
in undergraduate school
and are currently planning a re-search
project together on the
theological influences on econo-mic
thought. It is still in the
planning stage.
After Dean Brushaber re-quested
Brock to come to Bethel,
Brock said he "considered the
offer for quite some time and
eventually decided to come."
Brock said Bethel gives him,
"an opportunity to work with
other Christian faculty members
from a variety of disciplines in
clarifying the proper role of the
Christian in today's economic
world."
Most of Brock's extra-curricu-lar
activities are related to his job.
He claims, "You can integrate
your intellectual interests with
your job." He also enjoys pro-gramming
computers.
His biggest challenge here at
Bethel, he says, "is getting going
and getting the job done."
Dr Brock enjoys lecturing to
students most when they are
responsive. He also enjoys
"interaction with faculty mem-bers."
Coffee shop
changes,
doubles space
by Darla Boltz
Bethel's food service will take
on many changes within the next
few months, especially in the
coffee shop. Wayne Erickson, co-director
of food service, looks
forward to re-opening the coffee
shop sometime in December.
"The plans for the new coffee
shop double the former seating
space. Our new coffee shop
should seat a total of 276 people,"
Erickson said.
Erickson also reported that the
change will improve efficiency in
service. Two counters and two
cash registers will be used.
This way students buying ice
cream will not have to stand in
line behind someone waiting for a
grilled cheese sandwich.
Also, students will find shorter
lines and less congestion, Erick-son
said. It will be possible to
close the grill but keep the "ice
cream and hot dog" counter
open.

Five missionary families are
making the Bethel campus their
home while on furlough this year.
Herman Tegenfeldt, professor
of missions at Bethel Seminary,
said that these families have en-riched
life at Bethel since the
Chalberg Missionary Residence
opened 10 years ago.
The Chalberg Residence is lo-cated
one block north of the sem-inary
classrooms. It is financed
and operated by World Missions
although it lies on land rented
from Bethel.
Missionaries staying there en-joy
the comfort of furnished,
three-bedroom apartments dur-ing
their one-year vacation.
Whether it is really a 'vacation'
is debatable for the missionaries.
After 4 to 6 years in the field, a
missionary's furlough begins with
three months to visit relatives,
remedy health problems and take
care of personal problems.
The remainder of time in "the
States" is spent completing re-ports,
attending seminars and
visiting some of the 40 churches
across the area that support his
mission program.
The latter is Dana Larson's
main concern. The Larsons are
home for their second furlough
since they went to Argentina in
1970. Larson says he can not find
enough Sundays in the year to
speak at all of the congregations
that have supported him.
Larson has a short trip to India
planned during their furlough,

Coffee shop to include mosaic,
Johnson wort commissioned
by Jon Mogck
A 34-foot long mosaic will be a
part of the new coffee shop north
wall. Designed by Dale R. John-son,
associate professor of art,
the mosaic's 4,665 four by four
color tiles will capture and reflect
the light from the northern win-dows
in the new buildings.
Johnson has named the com-position
"Sun Through The
Clouds." The mosaic was de-signed
to "create an active, stim-ulating
abstract landscape in
mosaic tile that would bring vis-ual
excitement and color into the
lounge area," said Johnson. By
doing this he also hoped to
express life, vitality and inter-action.
"In this proposed mosaic I see
the simple motif of grass moved
by fresh breeze as a metaphor for
the Holy Spirit's work of love in
this Christian Learning Commun-ity,"
said Johnson.
One of the objectives for the
mosaic was to respond to the
architectural design of the "north
light" windows that will be put in
the building.
According to Johnson, "The
mosaic presents a simplified
The success of our program
depends largely upon the partici-pation
of the student body. So far
this semester, we have been more
than pleased with the encour-agement
and support that so
many of you have given us at our
various events. Our job would be
impossible if we did not receive
your help.
The events coming next week
include: Roller skating tonight at
Saints Roller Rink from 12 a.m. to
2 a.m. for new campus only. The
bus leaves from the gym at 11:30
p.m.
Tomorrow night will be a corn-edy

and a bus will leave at 6:30 p.m.
from the gym doors.
Next Friday, Oct. 27, will be a

landscape as a setting for a
brilliant light ray to pierce the
clouds and illuminate the field
below. This can be seen as a
metaphor for Christ as "light of
the world."
The mosaic will also have a
diagonal that will extend out 10
feet and then drop 6 feet to the
floor. The diagonal requires ex-tensive
the cutting but would
result in a "beautiful configura-tion
of color tile," Johnson said.
Other artists sent in designs
but the bulding committee sel-ected
Johnson's design.
"It's a good thing to see a
Christian college like Bethel
commissioning a work of art,
having it executed professionally,
and having it forever," stated
Johnson. "My hope is that stu-dents
will take time to look at it
carefully."
Johnson's idea was a natural
outgrowth of his work for the past
two years.
Johnson will oversee the build-ing
of the mosaic. An European-trained
tile setter will be brought
in to begin work on the mosaic as
soon as the new buildings are
structurally ready.
The mosaic will be completed
this year.

"When I go home, I might get
shot at the airport," said one
foreign student who asked not to
be identified.
Despite such odds, some
foreign students have chosen to
come to Bethel. These students
also often face miles of red tape
before they can study in the
United States.
For example, Ethiopian stu-dents
peed a good GPA (straight
A's) before they even think about
studying overseas.
Taye Birmachu, junior, said he
had to get cleared with the Ethio-pian
government before he could
leave the service. He was on
active duty for two years. The
government was then giving pre-ference
to students who wanted to
study in eastern countries such as
the USSR.
After all his papers had been
checked out, Taye went to the
Minister of Foreign Affairs. Next,
he went to the Minister of Interior
Affairs, who checked out his re-cords.
Mayo Clinic,
Red Cross
out for blood
The bi-annual Bethel blood
drive will be on Friday, Oct. 27
from 9: a.m. to 3: p.m. The
Red Cross is hoping for 290 pints
of blood from Bethel, the majority
of the blood going to Mayo Clinic.
Sue Smith and Carolyn Olson
are in charge of the drive, and the
committee members are: Lynne
Schroeder and Carol Dischinger,
recruitment of workers; Pam
Bickmore and Jenny Hoehl, re-cruitment
of donors; Cory Dahl,
publicity; and Ron Nilsson, set-up.
There will be sign-up sheets by
the P.O.'s next week for donors
and volunteers.
He then 'went to the Ethiopian
Immigration where he was check-ed
out thoroughly. Afterwards, he
went to the American Embassy
for his student visa and started
making contacts with friends in
the States, including Bethel
friends.
This took four months, even
though Taye had good connec-tions.
Before he left the country,

This will allow students to pur-chase
these items at certain
times, such as after basketball
games, when the coffee shop
would otherwise not be open.
Erickson said the new coffee
shop will allow more students to
make reservations for the Royal
Oak Room. He is also considering
longer hours for the Oak Room,
although this would mean closing
the coffee shop on Thursday
nights.
Not all of the changes in the
fOod services will be in the coffee
shop. Erickson is bringing back
the "special," which gives the
student a balanced meal at a
reduced rate.
Erickson stated that the price of
the "special" will always be less
than buying the items separately,
but will change from day to day.
"I am looking for students'
input so that changes can be
made to suit the student body,"
Erickson said.
Erickson hopes the Country
Store can be maintained. "It is
working well and allows faster
service for many students."
Taye was checked out thoroughly
at the airport by the Ethiopian
Immigration officials.
"Of the 200 who applied, I was
one of the four released," ex-claimed
Taye.
Taye's friend, Tecola Werku,
second semester freshman, was
not so lucky. He applied for a visa
at the same time as Taye but was
not able to leave until last Jan-uary.
"I owe it to the Lord that I can
here," said Tecola. He refused a
scholarship to the USSR and
waited three years to come to
Bethel.
While Tecola was waiting for
his visa, the Ethiopians had some
conflict with the Russians. During
this time, the Ethiopian govern-ment
relaxed its rules and Tecola
was allowed to leave the country.
One month after Tecola left
Ethiopia, no one was allowed to
leave the country.
Sara Haile Sellasie, an Ethio-pian
freshman, had problems get-ting
clearance. "The problem was
that I did not finish one year of
the required national service. I
served for only eight months and
had to leave because of medical
reasons, explained Sara.
Sara grew up with the Sudan
Interior Missions (SIM). Her
sponsor, who worked with SIM,
now lives at Waterloo, Iowa, Sara
finished a year of high school at
Waterloo before coming to
Bethel.

"Kennedy's Children," a play
which portrays the progression of
modern man's dreams into night-mares,
opened last Friday at the
Chimera's Edyth Bush Theatre.
As the play opens, the five
characters in the play production
are seated separately at a bar,
and take turns describing the
focal points of their lives to the
audience, but have no interaction
amongst themselves.
Each of the bar's customers is
still living on successes and fail-ures
they had in the 196;'s.
Although the play is set in 1974,
the characters can only see pre-sent
reality as an opportunity for
lamenting the past.
The customers portray Ken-nedy's
assassination, student un-rest
and revolt movements, Mari-lyn
Monroe's death, living in a
counter-culture and the Vietnam

An attorney-author team,
George and Margaret Hardisty of
Concord, Calif., will lead a con-vocation
on Fri., Oct. 27. An en-richment
seminar on marriage and
personal relationships will follow
at the seminary on Oct. 27 and 28.
Lectures, workshops and ques-tion-
answer periods are planned.
Special sessions for single,
widowed and divorced persons
will be included, and the Hard-istys
will be available for in-dividual
counseling after the ses-sions.
Margaret Hardisty is the au-thor
of "Forever My Love," a
bestselling book on marriage re-lationships.
She has written num-erous
short stories, plays and
musicals. She co-authored "Hon-est
Questions, Honest Answers"
with her husband.
Her husband George is an
attorney, counselor and lecturer.
He serves on the board of dir-ectors
and several nationally
known organizations.
The seminar is open to college
and seminary faculty, staff and
students. On the 27th, the sem-inar
will be from 7-10 p.m. and on
the 28th, from 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Twelve Bethel students and
faculty members attended the
Wheaton Philosophy Conference
on Oct. 12-14.
Sponsored by Wheaton College
in Illinois, the 25th Annual Phil-osophy
Conference provided an
opportunity for Christian philoso-phers
to present and discuss
theories relating to religious
language.
The distinguished lecturer for
the event was William Alston,
currently chairman of the Univer-sity
of Illinois' philosophy de-partment.
His topic for the Thursday
evening opening lecture was
"Can We Speak Literally About
God?" "Symbolic Interpretations
of Theological Discourse" was
the subject of his second lecture.
"I'm glad I went. It was a
learning experience for me even
though I couldn't understand a lot
of it," said junior Mark Kershaw.
Participants "attended lectures,
seminars, chapel and informal
dialogues and discussions. Sem-inars
consisted of a professor
reading his paper on an aspect of
religious language. A response by
another educator and a time of
questions by the audience fol-lowed.
"The people from Bethel
seemed to like best Jerry Gill's
"The Orphic Voice: Language,
Reality and Faith" and James
Spiceland's "D.Z. Phillips on Re-ligious
Language."
They were the clearest pre-sentations
and seemed to deal
with fundamental issues involved
in the problems of religious
/
Due to the non-interacting dia-logue
of the play, there is very
little action on stage. All energy
has to come from the dialogues
themselves, which was carried
out quite well by the cast. Each
role came with its own set of
mannerisms and vocabulary
which separated the characters
distinctly.
"Kennedy's Children" is not
an entertaining production, al-though
there is humor spread
throughout the dialogues. It is an
intense reflection on the tragedies
of the 60's and their repercus-sions
still evident today.
language. "They also had the
most interesting discussion after-wards,"
said Randy Johnson,
philosophy instructor.
The conference was not strictly
intellectual. People had a chance
to socialize through coffee breaks,
a trip into downtown Chicago and
nights in a dorm or with friends.
Margaret Van Etten, a sopho-more
said, "The conference is not
only for philosophers. This year's
was also good for Bible or
theology majors. I had a good
time. The girl I stayed with was
very nice. She made an effort to
be with me as much as possible."
Instructor Randy Johnson sum-marized
the conference as being,
at times disappointing, at times
stimulating, and, overall, rewar-ding.
It provided for greater unity
and more informal fellowship bet-ween
students and faculty."
involved in activities they plan to
set up.
Some of the committees are in
charge of such things as missions,
social and political action, cultural
life and recreation.
Joy feels that one of the pri-mary
goals for this year is "to
recognize the potential of student
senate and really work at it."
She hopes the senate can "en-hance
the academic end of semin-ary
by complementing it," Joy
hopes to do this by planning
ahead and preparing activities for
this year.
The seminary senate has an
open relationship with the ad-ministration.
One of the senate
members is a faculty representa-tive
who is also the dean of
students. Joy sits in and contri-butes
to the Board of Regents
meetings.
Joy thinks the seminary senate
is in for an "exciting" year.
They hope to use the senate "as
an instrument for personal and
institutional growth."
As for the future, the senate
aims to unfold into a "more vital
vehicle of communication."

Quie rallies for support,
threatens DFL influence
After twenty years in Washing-ton,
Al Quie is taking on a new
challenge. With running mate Lou
Wangberg, he is attempting to
unseat Rudy Perpich as Minne-sota's
governor, and end DFL
dominance in state politics.
He is tentatively scheduled to
appear at Bethel on Wed. Oct. 25.
Quie was born near Dennison,
Minn., and still operates a farm in
the area. After serving as a Navy
pilot in World War II, Quie
enrolled at St. Olaf college. Quie
first encountered politics at St.
Olaf, being elected president of
the Young Republicans Club.
Four years after he graduated in
1950, Quie was elected to the Min-nesota
State Senate. In a 1958
special election, he won a U.S.
Congressional seat.
Since that election, Quie has

Their next meet is tomorrow at

won 11 consecutive Congressional
campaigns as a Republican, the
last with 69 per cent of the vote.
This is especially noteworthy be-cause
of the usually strong
Democratic leanings of the area.
Quie is now the ranking minori-ty
member of the House Educa-tion
and Labor Committee. He is
a nationally recognized leader in
educational legislation.
In 1976, the American Council
on Learning Disabilities honored
Quie with its highest national
award for his role in passing a bill
guaranteeing public education
programs to all handicapped
children. He also holds seven
honorary doctorate degrees.
Throughout his career, Quie
has been recognized as a politician
with integrity. Though he has not
been advertised for his "born
againness," Quie says his faith has
been a central focus of his life.
His involvement in Washington
prayer groups, and his ministry to
Chuck Colson have been well-do-cumented.
Quie's present platform in-cludes
an "inflation proofed" tax
plan and policies for initiative and
referendum.
Initiative, another of Quie's
proposals, is a process by which,
through petition, people may
write laws for submission to the
voter.

Another Ethiopian, Eshete
Kirkos, freshman, has an unusual

anybody to leave the country.
So Eshete got an intransit visa

He was there for six weeks. Dur-ing

sponsors five children in Haiti,
gives the Bethel community "a
chance to show genuine love and
concern for the spiritual and phy-sical
needs of others," said Dan
Dye, chairman of student sen-ate's
Public Action Committee
(PAC).
The Rice Bowl program, dir-ected
by PAC, supports each of
the five children with $14 per
month. Through the help of West
Indies Missions in Aux Cayes,
Haiti, this money supplies food,
clothing and education for the
children.
Since Rice Bowl's beginning
four years ago, money for the
program has come from selling
bowls of rice in Bethel's food

service. This year the rice bowls
sell at lunch on Mondays for one
dollar. Because food service do-nates
the rice, the entire dollar
provides for the needs of the
children.
PAC chose to raise money by
selling rice, because they be-lieved
the visible presence of the
rice bowl would cause the Bethel
community to reflect upon the
problems on the Third World.
Money for the program does
not come from rice sales alone.
Proceeds from fundraisers such
as pumpkin sales, bake sales and
volleyball marathons supplement
the income from rice sales.
Pictures of the five children and
their letters are displayed on the
bulletin board in the FA building.
Two of the children are girls;
three are boys. Their ages range
between 8 and 14. This display
calls them "our children."
The children also see them-selves
as "our children." Every
three months they send letters to
PAC to inform us how they are
and what they're doing. Each
letter is signed "your son," or
"your daughter."
Rice Bowl is just one of the
programs PAC directs in the
name of the Bethel community.
Each year all of PAC's programs
focus on one social concern—this
year it is human rights.
PAC states that their primary
function is to "address ourselves
to salient social concerns and seek
to sensitize students to these
issues, thus enhancing the image
of Bethel as a concerned Christian
community."

Second half comeback
spurs Mankato victory
by G.W. Smith
Hosting the Mankato Maver-icks
for homecoming didn't seem
to be such a bad idea, especially
when fullback Greg Sutton cross-ed
the goal line untouched in the
second quarter, giving the Royals
a 17-0 lead.
And when quarterback Lonnie
Holmgren combined with Sutton
and wide receiver Rich Graves to
convert a Mankato fumble into
another Royals' touchdown, all
looked well for the Bethel blue.
But trailing 24-7, the Mavericks
refused to succumb to the Royals'
attack and went on to win, 35-24.
The Royals' first score came ear-ly
in the first quarter as Bethel's
defense squared off against the
Mankato offense.
On first down and 25, following
a personal foul against Mankato,
defensive backs Scott Engstrom
and Greg Peterson combined to
foil an attempted Mankato pass.
On third and 21, safety Randy
Fredine snatched a Mankato
receiver and tackled him 15 yards
short of the first down.
With Mankato punting on
fourth down, cornerback Peter-son
crashed into the Mankato
backfield and blocked the punt.
Scooping up the football, Peter-son
sprinted into the end zone for
th Royals' first score.

The Bethel soccer team failed to
take advantage of a key oppor-tunity
last week, losing to and ty-ing
two of the lesser teams in the
conference.
Mankato quarterback Bill
Maples surprised the Royals mid-way
through the second quarter,
throwing a 72-yard touchdown
pass to wide receiver Scott Mayes,
trimming the Royals' margin to
24-14.
Primed by the touchdown, the
Mankato defense held Bethel to
only one first down on their next
series, forcing the Royals to punt.
After halting Mankato at their
own 36-yard line, the Royals
regained possession with twelve
seconds left in the half. From
there Holmgren launched three in-complete
passes and the half end-ed
with Bethel still leading 24-14.
In the second half the Maver-icks
quickly captured the lead
from the Royals, capitalizing on a
blocked punt and a fumbled
kickoff. Mankato led for the first
time in the game, 28-24.
"We really had them on the
rails the first half," said head
coach Reynolds. "They didn't
earn one touchdown."
The Royals' offense, handily
controlling the Mankato defense
in the first half, found themselves
coming up consistently short in
the second half. Twice the Royals
moved the ball to within the
Mankato fifteen-yard line, failing
to score both times.
"We can't seem to eliminate
those few little mistakes," said
Reynolds.
"We're an awfully good foot-ball
team to be 2-4."

The volleyball team lost a well-played
to match to Carleton, and
then narrowly escaped an upset by
Northwestern last week.
Carleton defeated the Royals in
three straight games, 11-15, 2-15,
and 9-15. Both teams played well,
sustaining several long rallies.
The Royals were outserved in
the first game, but were able to
match the blocks and spikes of
Macalester the win. The Scotties
applied pressure throughout the
half before finally scoring.
The first half was played fairly
evenly. Bethel controlled the early
going with crisp passing. Doug
Hage put the Royals ahead 1-0,
spinning 180 degrees to fire the
ball past the goalie.
As has happened in past games,
Bethel relaxed after controlling
the early play. Macalester stormed
back with two quick goals. The
first was scored on a lofted shot
into the top left-hand corner. The
second Mac goal came on a re-bound
after goalie Jeff Beckman
misplayed a shot.
The Royals tied the score at 2-2
late in the half. Joe Clement was
tripped in the penalty area and
Greg Thom converted the penalty
shot.
Saturday's game was played in
cold, blustery weather. Both
teams controlled the ball well in
the middle of the field but had
trouble as they neared the goal.
The only goals of the game
came midway through the first
half.
An unmarked St. Mary's for-ward
put in the first tally, heading
the ball off a corner kick. Five
minutes later, Bethel knotted the
score on a nifty passing play from
Tim Morin to Hage to Scott
Feltman who knocked in his
fourth goal of the season.
Bethel halfback Dan Rogers
suffered a slight concussion in the
second half when he crashed
into an opposing player. In addi-
Carleton in a close game. The
second game still stood 1-0 after
eight minutes. Then Carleton be-gan
dominating with short center
spikes.
Bethel lost the third after
quickly falling behind and playing
catch-up for most of the game.
Joy Sorenson played the back row
well, with several good bumps and
saves.
The JV lost to Carleton 8-15
and 14-16. The team staged a
comeback in the second game
tion to Rogers, the injured list in-cluded
starters Bob Genheimer,
Mark Maillefer and Beckman.
The Royals play tomorrow at
home against St. John's (1:30)
before taking on Macalester under
the lights (7:00) at the Scotties
homefield. The Royals are battl-ing
to make the MIAC playoffs
which start Nov. 4. The top six
teams in the conference continue
in post-season play.

Last Saturday Bethel finished
first in a close meet with the
University of Wisconsin, Superior
(UWS) and rival Northwestern.
All of the Bethel harriers ran their
best times this season on the five-mile
Como course.
A pack of five Bethel runners;
freshmen Bob Holt, Mark Doner
and Ross Fleming, and juniors,
Jim Feleen and Randy Bostrom;
stuck together for two miles,
keeping Northwestern's fifth man
back two places and putting
Bethel in good position for the
victory.
Dave Clapp achieved a personal
best of 26:54. His previous best
was 27:17 which Clapp ran on the
Como course earlier this season.
when Mandy Fawley came into
the game providing good serving
and key hits. But the rally fell
short.
Bethel had trouble with the
shorter Northwestern team, but
managed to pull out a win in four
games, 15-11, 3-15, 15-12, and
18-16.
The Royals fell behind in every
game, but always came back at
crucial points. Northwestern
played aggressively and blocked
several of Bethel's spikes.
Northwestern scored seven
straight points early in the first
game, but Bethel came back to
win when Sheryl Meyer served
five points, including an ace.
The Royals were not aggressive
in the second game, and North-western
defeated them easily.
They again fell behind late in
the third game, but excellent
serving by Lori Olsen put Bethel
back in the lead.
Bethel came from behind in the
fourth game to tie the score at
14-14, and then finally won 18-16.

Randy (Rudy) Bostrom also
ran a personal best at 27:56.
Coach Gene Glader attributed
the better times and victory to the
season's progressing and the run-ners
being in better condition. "It
was a beautiful day for running,
cool and calm. We had good com-petition.
"The pack of five helped; they
encouraged each other as they ran
and kept the Northwestern runner
back," commented Glader.
The final team scores were
Bethel 38; Northwestern, 43; and
UWS, 47.

Malone came out the number one
man for the day with a time of
